We are grateful!

It is so easy to complain. Complain about what you want, what you don't have, what you don't want to do but we forget about all the things that we do have. At this time of year, I always try to stop and remember the things I am grateful for. I included E on this little project and we jotted down a few things that we were grateful for. His list would have also included playstation3, miller lite, tacos, and pizza if I would have let it. But hey, those are things to be grateful for, just not as grateful as the things he did pick :)

You will need:
Picture frame (we used an 8x10)
Red, yellow, and orange construction paper
Cardstock
Double sided tape
I am grateful for printable. I got the printable here.
I got the leaf templates here.

How to make it:
Cut cardstock to fit frame.
Tape printable to middle of cardstock and put it in the frame.
Use leaf template to trace and cut out leaves.
Write what you are grateful for on each leaf.
Tape to outside of frame.

We have ours sitting on our kitchen counter and when I go to make my coffee in the morning I look at it and remember why I am thankful and not why I am angry about being awake so early :)
